I want to add a user with a login of more than 8 characters
Is this possible ?

I have tried adding a user, e.g. longname and theme editing the /etc/passwd
file and changing it to longname1 (9 chars) - but I then cant login as
either longname or longname1 (not suprising really)

Is there a solution / workaround to this problem ?

Thanks in advance
